If this concept of "i'll just scan this bar code and find out that there's a cheaper one across the street" becomes common practice, stores will just shift to having all unique bar codes. You can already see this with certain products. There will be a store-specific UPC/model number at Walmart vs Target vs Best Buy.
It seems like this technology may already be in place at Google. The other day I did a search on Google for Fox Schedule and the number one hit was at fox.com, the number two hit was a link to the Fox affiliate in the home town of my ISP - Hmmm.
Could the basic process they use for this
(stretching a substrate, adding a coating
and then allowing the substrate to contract) be
used to create cheaper / smaller / faster chips?
